Re: Strongest 17. : Thu Dec 28, 2017 12:14 pm  

At the moment for me the strongest 17 is:

1. Ethan Ryan
2. Alex Brown
3. Ashley Gibson
4. Ross Oakes
5. Dalton Grant
6. Joe Keyes
7. Dane Chisholm
8. Liam Kirk
9. Sam Hallas
10. Steve Crossley
11. Matt Garside
12. Elliot Minchella
13. George Milton

14. Vila Halafihi/Riess Butterworth
15. Ross Peltier
16. Mikey Wood
17. Jamal Goodall

I would prefer us to use Ryan on Oakes wing though and see that partnership continue. And like many others on here I think Lee Smith will play more often than not when fit. Needs to lose some timber though I think.

New player coming in this week, not a loan I'm told

i think you have hit the nail on the head HC, Kear I am sure will have been told to bring the younger talents on but not overstretch them. By the same logic this therefore means Davies and Smith will play their part during the season.

Bongser is sure Ol' Granny Kear has sucked a few eggs in his time, so who's trying to teach him how to do it?

Whoever it is should be concentrating on exiting the hearings of next month wearing virgin white (all the best - though hope FN gets his comeuppance) and leave Kear to deal with rugby matters. Hoping we won't meet you next year (due to promotions for both of us)

Agree Kear will know what he's doing but the financial limits, of which I'm certain JK will be fully versed, come from the boardroom, no matter how experienced the coach.

thanks Bulliac for your usual nauseatingly reasonable comments in response. I prefer to say to B&B that yes it clearly is pantomime time.

Re: Strongest 17. : Sun Dec 31, 2017 2:23 pm  

No hint of position sorry, also said the club was working on a deal for a 'marquee' type player to be announced as soon as it's in the bag - but we were a few gins in by then

Sounds positive.

Re: Strongest 17. : Sun Dec 31, 2017 3:48 pm  

would guess new player would have to be a forward and marquee type their trying for would be moss.
